Summary
This study tested a new combination treatment for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that had spread. It combined the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab with two types of radiation therapy to see if the pair could shrink tumors better than either alone. The trial enrolled 124 participants and measured how many responded to treatment and how long they lived without the cancer getting worse.
